“…With regard to other substance use, past 30-day other drug and marijuana use were both associated with higher odds of vape shop visits, conforming to the common liability model [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] . These findings may highlight a role for vape shops in intervention with multiple tobacco product use (poly-use) or poly-substance use, as previously has been done for smoking cessation [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] .…”

This methodology has been reported previously, 18,19 and is used broadly in peer-reviewed literature [20][21][22][23] .

“…Since vape shops predominantly sell ENDS, we might expect their customers to be similar to ENDS users. In a 2014 national sample of adults, ever use of e-cigarettes was correlated with daily cigarette smoking, White race, younger age (age [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], and living in the Western U.S 7 . One study noted an increase in lifetime e-cigarette use in young adults (aged 18-24) since 2010, 8 but another showed that ever e-cigarette use remained stable in this age group 9 .…”

INTRODUCTION The increasing popularity of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has brought with it the emergence of “vape shops,” retail outlets designed for the sale of ENDS, nicotine fluid, and accessories. To understand user characteristics of this rapidly-growing retail environment, this study examined the prevalence and correlates of having ever visited a vape shop among U.S. young adults. METHODS Data were drawn from Wave 7 (weighted n = 3,542) of the Truth Initiative Young Adult Cohort, a national sample of individuals aged 18 to 34 (October 2014). Multivariable logistic analysis examined odds of ever visiting a vape shop as a function of demographics, tobacco use, and substance use. RESULTS Results showed that 11% of young adults had ever visited a vape shop. Significant bivariate relationships existed between all tobacco products and other substance use and vape shop visiting. Significant correlates of ever visiting a vape shop in multivariable analyses were: past 30-day use of cigarettes, past 30-day or ever use of an e-cigarette or hookah, past 30-day use of marijuana or other drugs, younger age (18–24 vs 25–34), Hispanic and other race (vs White race), and limited financial means. CONCLUSIONS Young adult vape shop ever visitors share common characteristics with tobacco, other drug and ENDS users and likely reflect an underlying propensity to engage in risk behaviors. Future research should determine reasons why young adults visit vape shops and the potential impact of vape shop visits and purchases on ENDS use and trajectories of use of other tobacco products.

Motivators, Barriers, and Facilitators to Traveling to the Safest Hospitals in the United States for Complex Cancer Surgery

et al. 2018

Key Points Question What information may motivate the US public to travel to safer hospitals for complex cancer surgery, what barriers to traveling do they face, and what solutions may facilitate appropriately changing hospitals? Findings In this nationally representative survey study, 92% of respondents would be motivated to travel to a specialty cancer hospital for superior safety or oncologic outcomes, but 74% also reported barriers to traveling, although most of the barriers could be overcome with proposed solutions. Specific socioeconomic subsets were less likely to travel. Meaning It appears that most of the US public could be motivated to travel to safer hospitals for complex cancer surgery, yet most would require some support to move. Further efforts to ensure that benefits from regionalization are equitable across sociodemographic strata are indicated.

Introduction: Emergency physicians frequently provide care for patients who are experiencing viral illnesses and may be asked to provide verification of the patient's illness (a sick note) for time missed from work. Exclusion from work can be a powerful public health measure during epidemics; both legislation and physician advice contribute to patients' decisions to recover at home. Methods: We surveyed Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians members to determine what impacts sick notes have on patients and the system, the duration of time off work that physicians recommend, and what training and policies are in place to help providers. Descriptive statistics from the survey are reported. Results: A total of 182 of 1524 physicians responded to the survey; 51.1% practice in Ontario. 76.4% of physicians write at least one sick note per day, with 4.2% writing 5 or more sick notes per day. Thirteen percentage of physicians charge for a sick note (mean cost $22.50). Patients advised to stay home for a median of 4 days with influenza and 2 days with gastroenteritis and upper respiratory tract infections. 82.8% of physicians believe that most of the time, patients can determine when to return to work. Advice varied widely between respondents. 61% of respondents were unfamiliar with sick leave legislation in their province and only 2% had received formal training about illness verification. Conclusions: Providing sick notes is a common practice of Canadian Emergency Physicians; return-to-work guidance is variable. Improved physician education about public health recommendations and provincial legislation may strengthen physician advice to patients.
